Will You Add? - If It Sounds Too Good To Be True
Since the livestrong craze which sold 40 million bracelets, everyone else has been jumping into the craze of using these customized silicone bracelets for fundraisers to support a cause.Once example is during the tsunami a year ago, those houses have been destroyed by this and many families were in danger. There needed to be funds to support this disaster, and simply anyone can donate a couple bucks to help out. But what many people this is to customize their own silicone wristbands with “tsunami relief” on them, and sold them for a couple bucks each. All of the proceeds went to charity and to donations.The good thing is that not only is the person able to donate money, but that person also receives a little something in return

The huge internet marketplace known as eBay has definitely taken the world by storm. While it's no secret you can find great buys on eBay, many people who are new to the whole internet shopping mall concept are a little unsure where to begin their bargain hunting. Thankfully, there are a few general guidelines to follow in order to snipe those great deals you find on eBay, as well as how to search for bargain buys no matter what you're looking for. Anyone can find great deals on eBay; it's simply a matter of knowing where to look and how to find what you're searching for.First and foremost, you'll want to search for great deals during times no one else will be shopping. Major holidays and late hours during the middle of the night are
With this in mind, I randomly pulled the following ads out of ezines and newsletters. These are real ads and quoted exactly how they were written. I couldn't make this stuff up!
If you examine the copy, for the most part they don't even make sense. So I thought I would poke a little fun at them and expose them for what they are a joke, and if taken seriously, a cruel joke at that!
The sad part is that many people buy into the hype in the hopes of changing their lives, only to find out that the only one benefited is the "hyper". If you have been victimize by some of these "Too Good to be True" ads, you are not alone, I have too!
That's right, ME! I could say it was all in the name of research, but in truth, in my heart of hearts, I hoped that this was "the deal" that would turn my life around. Although I didn't get the benefits promised in the ads, I did learn the valuable lesson of the famous clich?.
So here we go. My intentions are NOT to return the compliment by insulting any of the copywriters of the ads, but merely (with a little tongue in cheek) to read between the lines and have a some fun.
Hype Ad #1:
"Work from Home in PJs Using PC and add thousands per month to your income with absolutely NO Risks, GUARANTEED!"
Why would I even want to work in my PJs? I know it's used metaphorically and is just an attention getter. The image it portrays, however, is less than professional and whether you work at home or at a corporate office for a Fortune 500 company, it's a business and should be run like one. Be comfortable, yes; but PJs?
How about "add thousands per month to your income"? If that statement, itself, is not a stretch, how about adding "absolutely NO Risks" and then guaranteeing it. First of all, unless someone is going to hand you the money, how can they guarantee it to you? Secondly, in order to make that kind of money, in that time frame, you better believe your going to take some risks!

Although blogging and RSS seems to be a hot topic these days, only about five percent of American internet users actually use it.From both a business and personal perspective though, blogs and RSS have a lot to offer for the average internet user.The main reason is that by using RSS, you can cut down on the amount of email that you receive. You can receive a lot of your news in the form of headlines.Blogs can tell you what people are thinking about, and what they're really interested in. This is an effective tool for marketers. If you're looking to meet new people, this can also be an excellent way to meet others who share common interests.It's not really necessary to understand what blogging and RSS are.Bl

Hype Ad #2:
"Own A Computer? Put it to Work! Earn an extra $1500-$5000/mo p/t;"
This ad gives a whole new meaning to "artificial intelligence". Not only can you have a computer working for you part time; but it will earn an unrealistic $1500-$5000 per month. Most people working full time, with or without the aid of a computer, don't make that kind of money.
Hype Ad #3:
"15,000 in 30 days!! HUGE amounts of CASH for everyone!! NO EXCEPTIONS!! Call..."
$15,000 a month? That's $180,000 per year. That is a HUGE amount of cash. Not only a lot of money, but EVERYONE gets it?
Well, I called, and I think the guy who answered the phone said: "Hello, US Mint. Where should we send money?"
Hype Ad #4:
"QUIT YOUR JOB & be your own boss! Could you use an extra $21,000/month? Sound impossible? It's not!"
This sounds good. I want to quit my job and be my own boss. But...and it 's a BIG but. How do I support my family until I'm making "$21,000 a month"?
This guy answered that question for us. "Sound impossible?" You bet it is!
Hype Ad #5:
"$100,000+ yearly income possible: Internet marketing guru will teach you the REAL way to wealth at home"
"Possible", but not probable. Not without a lot of hard work and persistence. Why would this kind and generous person offer to teach me how to do this? If he was making $100,000 a year, he doesn't need to share the REAL way. Is there a FAKE way to wealth?
Hype Ad #6:
"Escape The Rat Race - Make $300 Per Day Simply+Instantly No Selling Required"
This starts off OK. There is nothing quite like being your own boss and calling the shots. Then this guy has to add "Simply+Instantly. No Selling Required". Here we go again. Where is this person who is giving all this m
